What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €29,000 (€354/m²), the house is 24% below the €467/m² Sicilian country-house baseline, but assuming modest €200/m² works raises the effective cost to about €556/m², above the baseline. The condition is unspecified and the description is incomplete, so the apparent discount is not yet compelling.
More on the house and the area
A genuine three-level Sicilian town house with attractive old details including patterned tile, marble stairs, vintage shutters and chandeliers, plus balconies and a small terrace. It is a solid-looking, roofed home rather than a ruin, but the interiors are very dated and partly stripped, so it needs meaningful renovation before becoming a comfortable dream home.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €200/m². There is no published price band below €350/m², so the range is that figure widened by the spread of the lightest band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€5,000 – €9,000
Wiring, water and sanitary work of any kind, heating, air conditioning and gas go to a registered firm by law, and so do flues and the air openings for gas appliances. That labour stays in the bill. Yours is the stripping out, plaster, paint, floors, tiling and carpentry.
Labour is 61% of a renovation price on average and 67% at the median, across 191 items of the Emilia-Romagna 2025 public price list. Materials are the rest. An averaged price list, not a quote.
Materials you buy yourself carry 22% VAT; supplied by the firm doing the work they go at the 10% renovation rate. On a €30,000 materials bill that is €3,600 of extra tax.
Household wiring installed before 13 March 1990 counts as compliant if it has a main breaker with overcurrent protection, protection against direct contact and a 30 mA RCD. Having a firm bring the existing wiring up to that and certify it is the cheapest lawful route.
- Clearly dated and in need of substantial cosmetic renovation, especially the facade, walls, kitchen and bathrooms.
- No garden and no scenic view; the house is in a dense urban setting.
- Verify roof, wiring, plumbing, damp and balcony condition before purchase.
Estimate from the listing and its photos, not a survey. Treat it as the starting point for your own quotes. An Italian builder's quote is normally written without VAT and without design fees, so add about a quarter to any figure a firm gives you.
